After Zelensky warned Lukashenko that Ukraine would take action against Belarusian repeaters helping guide Russian drone attacks, those systems reportedly stopped operating. In this video, we examine what happened, why Putin wants Belarus more deeply involved in the war, why Lukashenko may have decided the risks were too high, and what this reveals about the changing balance of pressure between Kyiv, Minsk, and Moscow. We also look at growing tensions between Poland and Ukraine, Hungary's latest move against Ukraine's EU path, signs of a possible shift in Trump's Ukraine rhetoric, Russia's refusal to accept a ceasefire, and the continuing fallout from Ukrainian strikes on Moscow's fuel infrastructure.#Ukraine #Russia #Belarus #Lukashenko #Zelensky #Putin #NATO #Poland #Trump #MoscowFacts over noise.
